Dog teaches scared pup how to use stairs

Wisdom comes with age. Same goes if you're a puppy struggling to make your first steps down a staircase. The best way to learn is for an older dog to show you how it's done.

Simon, a six-month-old yellow Lab, came to Daisy's rescue and gave her a quick tutorial on how to use the stairs.

A daunting task for almost all puppies, eight-week-old Daisy kept whimpering and was hesitant to put her paws on the steps. Helpful Simon climbed up then showed the foster puppy how to carefully tackle the steep stairs.

Each time Daisy seemed to give up and walk away, Simon led her back to the stairs. After several attempts, Daisy finally mimicked Simon and bravely descended the six-step staircase. Simon never left her the whole time.

The video has quickly gone viral and has reached nearly 1.2 million views since it was uploaded on YouTube.

Blazes raging in forests and woodlands across California have taken the life of a firefighter and forced hundreds of people to flee their homes as crews continue to battle the flames from the air and the ground.
